I say again, automated car washes, HARD pass...
Next time you're at one, notice the guy in front of you with the lifted Wrangler Rubicon that is covered top to bottom in mud? Those "soft" brushes that go all over his Jeep are the same exact ones that are going to gouge (on a microscopic level, but gouge nonetheless) your vehicle's finish when you're next in line.
F-11 snake oil hawked by washed up actor Ted Danson? That's gotta be a joke. Google System-X ceramic. I'll wait. You have to be a trained/certified technician to even buy it and is the same stuff used on jets, yachts and bazillion dollar super/hypercars. The 4 ounce bottle used to treat my car was roughly $500 and even gets a CarFax entry (not that I care personally, but worth mentioning) for finish protection...
You do you though.
